I think you have it backwards.  {cmevla} is the term for lojban words that end
in consonants, and can only be used as names ({.aionys.}, for instance).
{cmene} is any lojban name, including cmevla and selbri used as names (for
instance, {zo xalbo mi cmene}).

Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give 
it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgment. For
even the wise cannot see all ends.
